What power supply options are available for the P25?

The P25 can be powered via PoE (IEEE 802.3af) or an optional 12V DC adapter. PoE is recommended for simpler installation.

How do I insert an SD card into the camera?

Remove the back cover of the camera to access the SD card slot. Insert a MicroSD card until it clicks into place. The camera supports cards up to 128 GB.

Can I change the lens on the P25?

Yes, the P25 has an interchangeable C/CS mount lens. Remove the blind cover and install a compatible lens. Ensure proper alignment and secure it firmly.

How do I adjust the camera's viewing angle?

After mounting, adjust the viewing direction by rotating the camera body in its mount. Secure the position by tightening the locking ring.

What if the camera does not power on?

Check the Ethernet cable connection and ensure PoE is active. If using a 12V adapter, verify the power supply. Also, check the LED indicator on the camera.

How do I access the camera's web interface?

Assign an IP address to the camera via DHCP or use the default IP. Open a web browser and enter the camera's IP address. Log in with default credentials (admin/admin).

What is the operating temperature range?

The P25 operates in temperatures from 0°C to 50°C. Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions beyond this range to prevent damage.

How do I install the MX-Bus-IO module?

Open the camera housing and connect the module to the designated header. Refer to the manual for pinout details. The module adds additional I/O ports for external devices.

Can I use the P25 outdoors?

Yes, the P25 has an IP65 rating, making it suitable for outdoor use. Ensure it is installed in a sheltered location and all connections are sealed.

USER MANUAL P25 Mobotix

MOBOTIX 6MP camera for flexible use in indoor applications, install as complete Indoor Camera p25 (Day or Night) with selected lenses or as camera module p25 (Day or Night) with separate lens (MX-B036 to MX-B237). www.mobotix.com > Products > p25

Installing the p25

Use the drilling template on the back for this purpose (red circle) or draw a circle with 105 mm/4.13 in diameter for the cut-out. Cut out the hole for the camera, then guide the cables (network cable, USB cable, MxBus and signal input/output wires) through the hole.

1. Install the p25

Press the spring clips back and insert the p25 into the hole for the camera. The spring clips will snap outwards, thus firmly holding the camera in place.

Make sure that you only press back the spring clips as shown in the image. Do not press them back any further as the springs may snap out of their fixtures otherwise.

2. Roughly align the p25

Turn the camera until it roughly points into the intended direction; once it is running, you will adjust the camera according to the live image (see Initial Operation of the p25k.

Removing the p25

1. Pull out the camera

Pull the camera from its position by gently pulling the camera downward on one side, then the other side. Take care to NOT let the spring clips snap forward (risk of injury!).

2. Remove the cables

Remove the cables coming from the building Inetwork cable, USB cable, MxBus and signal input/output wires). Pull out the camera.

Initial Operation of the p25

The initial operation starts with connecting the power supply (see section «Network and Power Connection, Additional Cables» in the M25 Camera Manual). The first access follows the procedure described in the same manual in the section «Initial Operation of the Camera». All other tasks require access to the camera's user interface in the browser. Enter the camera's IP address into the address bar of the browser.

Screw for locking the

1. Set installed lens (only when self-mounting)

Open Admin Menu > Hardware Configuration > Lens Configuration dialog and select the installed lens. This step is required to select the proper special functions of the installed lens (e.g., for wide-angle lenses).

Stick the blue screwdriver

(Item 1.8) into the receptacle for adjusting the camera tilt. Adjust the camera tilt as needed while watching the live image of the camera 1.

Lock the camera tilt by slightly tightening the lock screw 2.

2. Adjust lens focus (if required)

This step is only necessary if the lens has been installed for the first time or exchanged. In cameras with a MX-B016 ("Hemispheric") lens, the lens has been focused at the factory.

Check the live image from the camera in the browser. Activate the focusing aid in the browser (Focusing Aid quick control, Activated value).

4. Configuring and Using the MX-Bus-IO-Module

The camera will automatically detect an installed MX-Bus-IO-Module (see Camera Status, System section in browser).

The signal inputs can be used right away in the signal input profiles in the Setup Menu > Event Overview. Likewise, the signal outputs can be used in the signal output profiles in Admin

Carefully turn the lens in clockwise or counter-clockwise direction using the red lens wrench until the red area of the focusing aid is as small as possible. Remove the lens wrench every time you changed the lens focus. Once the focus is adjusted properly, deactivate the focusing aid again (Focusing Aid quick control, Disabled value).

In addition, the signal inputs/outputs have been entered automatically in the Admin Menu > Assign Wires dialog and can be used to control doors and lights.

To use one or both signal outputs not as potential-free outputs (for relays), but as self-powered 12 V outputs. open the Admin Menu > Hardware Configuration > Manage Hardware Expansions dialog. In the MxBus/IO Board section, click on Connect for each output you want to use as self-powered output.

3. Adjust viewing direction

Turn the image in the ceiling until the live image shows the desired viewing direction 1. Stick the Allen wrench (item 1.10) into the hole of the lock screw and loosen the screw a bit 2.

5. Save the configuration

In the live image of the browser, select the Manage Settings quick control ans set Store Entire Configuration as value. The camera stores the configuration in the permanent camera memory so that the settings will be applied at the next camera reboot.
